Exploring the city

        Melbourne is full of really great street art- not the same kind of graffiti you'd find normally in cities, but there are really beautiful murals and drawings everywhere. The other day we went to an Artist Market near New Brunswick street- a "trendy" street not too far from the university. There was some really amazing art on the walls along the streets, and some cool shops we walked past. Here are a few pics!







The Rose Street Artist Market we went to







Over the weekend, some of the girls from Queen's college brought me to a well known bakery/coffee shop called Brunettis. It was delicious! Coffee and coffee shops are apparently a huge deal in Melbourne. 


Here are soome delicious treats from Brunettis!





        Yesterday some friends and I went to the Eureka Towers skydeck, which is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. From the top you can see the whole city, and we also went on "The Edge" which was this thing where you can go in a glass room where the floor is glass and you are standing 3 meters outside of the top floor! It looked really cool looking down at the city from the 88th floor! Here are some pictures taken from the top.









Lastly, here is a picture of the ringtail possum that lives outside my apartment- finally got it on camera! These things are everywhere.
